Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming NAVARRO ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| WARNING (LEVEL 7) |
|
Budget Amendment on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve a budget amendment as part of a bundled ‘consent agenda’ vote, which limits public discussion. The specific document detailing the changes was not available for analysis, preventing public scrutiny of how taxpayer money is being moved.
Response
DEMAND A RECORDED VOTE: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Pull Consent Item 13.B for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Taxpayers deserve to see the details of any budget amendment before it is approved.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

Bracing for Impact: District Projects Enrollment to Nearly Double
A new demographic study projects district enrollment will grow from approximately 3,342 today to over 6,100 students by 2037. This rapid growth is the justification for current bond spending and will drive future bond requests and property tax increases.
Response
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details) regarding Item 11.A: ‘The demographic report projects massive growth. What is the long-term plan to manage these costs without putting the entire burden on existing homeowners through property tax hikes?’
💰 Impact: Future Tax Increases

| WATCH (LEVEL 4) |

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Under Item 12.B, the agenda references a detailed check payment list (‘6-CHECK PAYMENTS’), but the document was not included in the provided materials. This list details precisely who the district is paying with taxpayer money and for what services.
Response
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘6-CHECK PAYMENTS’ attached to Item 12.B in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm who the district is paying and for what services.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Vendor Payments
